Booking Through Thursday

Do you ever crave reading crappy books?

Yes I read crappy books. I will admit it. I am hopelessly addicted to self-help books. I still cant fathom why. Every time I see one I think, maybe this is the one that has the answers to life in it.

It is sad to admit but even at my age of 30 I am still easily moved buy peer pressure. Left to my own devices I generally stick to literary fiction. If every one else and their mother is reading a book though, I must read it too. After all, I don't want to be the loser at a party who has never read Twilight. I hated that series, yet I stuck through all the books just to see what everyone else was raving about.

Maybe you can teach me to resist the pressures of the reading masses.
I read the Twilight books just to see what all the fuss was about.

Also, that way I could form my own opinion and not just repeat what others say.

Of course, I found them to be crap....but at least I can debate someone as to why I found them crap.

I used to be a huge Anne Rice fan. Still am. After reading her books then I read twilight..Lord I cant even describe the crappiness factor. Then when parents asked me if twilight was appropriate I had to resist the urge to say It is not appropriate for any one who wants to immerse themselves in Literature.
Oh Gawd!!! Not self help books....they provoking my snoring just thinking about it. shakes head* But, at least you admit that they are crappy, so your situation can all be hopeless. LOL. I don't crave crappy books. Check out my answer for this week's Booking Through Thursday.

Yeah I know but for some explainable reason I find myself drawn to them.
Crappy or not, it is based on somebody's preference in books. Everybody has their own opinions. Head over Clandestine Sanctuary to know what I think about this question.

Sometimes you just want to turn your mind off and be entertained. They're like romantic comedy chick flicks.

That is true also.
I think crappy doesn't always mean bad. bad book is one that is poorly written. Crappy can be cheesy. I think I'll know a bad book when I read one, and might very well abort it for another (better) book. :)
